For the second year running, two members of staff from Winston Solicitors, in Roundhay, went to talk to pupils at Woodkirk Academy in Wakefield during the school’s Annual Careers Fair.

Joanna Longfellow, a private client solicitor, along with colleague Hannah Snellin, a litigation executive, chatted to students from Years 11 to 13. After the 500 students visited the careers event, the sixth form students were invited to attend law classes, where the Winston Solicitors team held a question and answer session. This gave the students an opportunity to gain a valuable insight into the legal profession, helping the students to make informed choices about their own career paths.

Client feedback

I chose Winston Solicitors to deal with my wife's estate on the recommendation of a family member. I was very satisfied with the friendly attitude of the team. Everything was dealt with as quickly as possible bearing in mind that some documents needed to dealt with by a family member in America. i was kept informed of progress every step of the way. Wonderful service.

Michelle and Aishah were both very professional and helpful. This wasn't a straightforward conveyance but they had the relevant expertise to complete the sale without a problem.

I used Winston Solicitors to sell our house and they were brilliant. Amr dealt with all the paperwork quickly and kept us updated the whole time. They made the entire sale smooth and stress free. We would definitely use them again and recommending them to family and friends.
